Line War Cover

And here's the new Jon Sullivan cover for Line War:

﻿The Polity is under attack from melded AI entity controlling the lethal Jain technology, but the attack seems to have no coherence. When one of Erebus’s wormships kills millions on the world of Klurhammon, a high-tech agricultural world of no real tactical significance, Cormac is sent to investigate, though he is struggling to control an ability no human being should possess, and beginning to question the motives of his AI masters.

Further attacks and seemingly indiscriminate slaughter ensue, but only serve to bring some of the most dangerous individuals in the Polity into the war. Mr Crane, the indefatigable brass killing machine sets out for vengeance. Orlandine, a vastly-augmented haiman who herself controls Jain technology, seeks a weapon of appalling power and finds allies from an ancient war.

Meanwhile Mika, scientist and Dragon expert, is again kidnapped by that alien entity and dragged to the heart of things; to wake the makers of Jain technology from their five million year slumber.

But Erebus’s attacks are not indiscriminate, and could spell the end of the Polity…

i saw this movie last night, was like Alien barnyard massacre. ISOLATION has a Jain cow (shrimp gristle bristle) whose face is a skinned mess. the only thing that looks even remotely cheesy is some of the locomotion of the baby (Jain spine thing), a moment in a semi-perfect gritty nasty movie. this thing isn't Troma film cheese platter, its really evocative of muddy farm life, and almost perfect. it might have been titled WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JAIN?set in Ireland, i could pretty much understand the english weirdly enough. heh.
